The Nokia E75 In All Its Glory

Varun showed you last week the Nokia E75 in a steaming tea pot and promised that there would be more E75 action on Fone Arena. Well, here it is. It’s a picture gallery showing the Nokia E75 in all its double keypad form factor, and gleaming metallic and rubberized plastic glory. The E75 is Nokia’s latest and most anticipated Eseries device, carrying on the design language that has done wonders with the Nokia E71. We will post a video review of the Nokia E75 later, but we’ll leave you now with the pictures of this amazingly gorgeous handset (click on the thumbnails for the full pictures in 12MP of awesomeness). The front of the E75 features a good 2.4″ screen as well as the usual T9 keypad, with 2 applications shortcuts next to the D-pad: they are the ones labeled with a Messaging icon and with a Calendar icon. 
The top of the device only has the 3.5mm headset plug, that you can use to connect the headphones that come in the E75’s box, or your own preferred set of headphones.
The right side of the E75 features the Volume Up and Volume Down keys, around the Voice Dialing shortcut. A dedicated camera key is also there, the E75 being the first Eseries device that has a Camera key that actually also launches the Camera application, beside snapping pictures. 
The left side of the E75 has the MicroSDHC card slot, as well as the MicroUSB connection. The E75 uses the MicroUSB to connect to the computer, as well as to charge, so you can charge it through your computer’s port. 
The E75’s back features the 3.2MP camera, with one LED flash that can be activated for video capture, as well as a self-portrait mirror. There’s also the battery cover, and the set of speakers. 
The E75 uses the same D-pad as the E71. It has raised edges, with a nice center button. This d-pad gives very nice tactile feedback when pressed, and is one of the best we have seen on Nokia S60 devices. Here is the second aspect of the E75: the full QWERTY keyboard. This unit is a french one, and hence has an AZERTY keyboard, but depending on your region, you’ll find QWERTY or QWERTZ variants of the keyboard. The keys are flat, but have a very nice give when pressed, which makes typing on them a great experience. They also have a rubberized plastic finish, which also improves the typing speed. 
Notice the gap between the two parts of the slider. Although this might seem like a big gap, the slider is perfectly solid, and doesn’t wiggle or fiddle when open, nor when closed. The build quality on this slider is phenomenal and proves that Nokia still know how to make sturdy and robust devices. 
Here are some additional pictures, showing the E75’s aspects in intricate detail, as well as its in-hand handling. Notice the small size of this device, the 1000mAh battery, and the nice Boom Letters game that is available for the E75 in the Download! folder. 
We will soon post a comparison between the Nokia E75 and the Nokia E71, from a hardware and camera performance point of view, as well as a video review of the Nokia E75.

one of the best reviews so far!superb information and comparison.thanks for the hints and forebodings of nokia’s lofty ambition(using orange background)-to surpass the orange(w series).ha ha
Sadly the built quality is not great on all of them, mine has approx 1mm rocking movement in the slider in the closed position, solid as a rock in open position. Couple of the guys from All About Symbian both have movement in theirs too. Having said that, I don’t even notice it now unless I purposely press on one side to rock it.
Feature pack 2 is really nice, but battery life is truly shocking after the E71, I used to get 36 Hours out of the E71 with both Sipgate VOIP and Gravity running 24-7 and Emails checking every 30 mins and with average call, test and web use.
Same usage on the E75 and its down to about 7 hours, charging ay least twice a day….at to that, the appalling battery indicator, takes ages to drop 1 bar, then drops the rest in about an hour.
[...]Our friends at Fone Arena took a lot of high definition quality pictures of the black Nokia E75, you can see the E75 in almost every angle possible, front, back, open keyboard etc… [...]
Great review & lovely pictures. On the first photo, you appear to have a weather notification on your active-standby screen in between your calendar appointments and he WLAN scanner. I’d love to have that! Where did you get it from please. I currently use HandyWeather which is OK (although forecasts arew nearly always wrong) but to have the weather displayed always on my standby screen would be awesome! Please let me know where I can download this from. Many thanks. PS – would you recommend getting an E75 to me as an E71 user? (who is too impatient to wait until autumn for the E72 but needs a better cam’ than the E71 and also needs a 3.5mm audio jack)
If I am not mistaken, that weather notification is from Psiloc World Traveller. It has the option to show the weather on the homescreen by going through a calendar to-do note workaround. You don’t have to do it yourself, just enable it in the options, and it’ll show up there
it available in white clour…….
